Lidia Bastianich is a pioneering chef (FOUR restaurants!), PBS TV star, award-winning author (FIVE books!!), winemaker, wife, mother, grandmother…. YIKES!!! But as you’ll see from her video, despite her spectacular success, Lidia is so down-to-earth, warm, serene, and BRIMMING with enthusiasm for her native Italy and simple Italian food. Just looking at her last wonderful book, “Lidia’s Italy” is inspirational and makes you HUNGRY!! And Lidia has a NEW PBS television series coming out in April, “Lidia’s Italy”. It’s amazing that she has time to breathe!! Stay tuned for Part II of “Eating Italy with Lidia” and check out Lidia’s LUSCIOUS recipe for “White Bean Garlicky Soup” in the recipe section. It’s GREAT for the cold water!! Enjoy!!!

This womans whole career is based on the fact that she has lied about her background her whole life. And became a multi-millionaire doing it. Maybe everyone should start saying they are italian and they will profit like she did. Just ridiculous!!!!!!!
You need to learn your history. It was only a part of italy because mussolini occupied it. So lidia is not only a fraud apparently she is also a fascist.
bravo,bravo!!grazie mille lidia !! good food i watch her everyday and even make some of her recipe!! grazie!
